Lewis Hamilton likely to join Ferrari F1 team in 2025
Though it's unclear if a final contract has been signed or not, talks are still progressing, and this week's end could see the outcome.
Lewis Hamilton produced a
masterful performance to win a wet, chaotic, crash-strewn Brazilian Grand Prix
and take the title fight to the final race.
His ninth win of 2016 came
in a race with several high-speed accidents, two stoppages and five safety
cars, BBC reported on Sunday.
The victory cut the lead of
his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, who finished second, to 12 points.

Rosberg will secure the
championship if he finishes third in Abu Dhabi on November 27 even if Hamilton
wins.
As one of the most dramatic
races for years unfolded, Hamilton was supreme at the front in treacherous
conditions, lapping consistently faster than anyone.
After each restart, Hamilton
cruised easily away from Rosberg – building at one stage an 18-second lead in
14 laps before another safety car cut his lead to nothing.
His victory is the 52nd of
his career, making him the second most successful race winner of all time ahead
of Alain Prost (51). Michael Schumacher is way ahead on 91.
Not too bad, huh,” said
Hamilton. “I was generally just chilling up front. When it rains it’s
usually a good day for me. It was tricky for everyone. There were definitely
opportunities for aquaplaning, which everyone did.
“No mistakes, no
issues, no spins. It was kind of interesting to hear how many people were
spinning, but I didn’t have that problem.
